Housing

There are two primary options when it comes to Housing: on-campus residence halls
or off-campus apartments. We encourage you to consider on-campus housing first. Being
on campus is more convenient and makes it easier to integrate into student activities
and campus culture. Starting fall 2018, WKU will offer an international Living Learning
Community in Northeast Hall that pairs U.S. students with international students.

1) On-campus Housing - You can apply for housing after you have been admitted to WKU. Follow the instruction
on the housing website to apply through TOPNET. If you are arriving in the fall, keep
in mind that you will need to apply for on-campus housing as soon as possible as rooms
tend to fill up quickly. Once all of the housing requests have been processed, you
will receive a confirmation email with your room assignment. You may also confirm
this on TOPNET. Please note that during breaks, the only residence halls that will
be open are Barnes Campbell (men only), Bemis Lawrence (women only), and Northeast
Hall (co-ed). If you request a different residence hall, be aware that you will be
responsible for finding alternate housing (hotel, motel, friend, etc) during the times
when all residence halls are closed (winter break, spring break, fall break, Thanksgiving,
etc.).

2) Off-campus housing is also an option, but all arrangements will have to be made
on your own. The International Student Office (ISO) website and our pre-arrival guide provide a list of non-WKU affiliated off-campus
housing options. Just be sure to a) let us know you are living off-campus and b) update
your TOPNET account with your accurate off-campus address after your housing is confirmed.
